<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3216980, member: 78244&quot;]So I was at a dealer’s table looking through his coins, and I was listening to a conversation he was having with a customer. However, this dealer started saying some things that were blantantly wrong (knowingly or unknowingly I can’t say) to the customer to make a sale. I chose to stay quiet and not interfere.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was another time when a collector was looking at a dealer’s trade dollars, and the dealer had an AU-50 trade dollar in an old soapbox ANACS holder (these are VERY unreliable) which had been quite harshly cleaned. The dealer advertised this coin as being the epitome of original since it was in a straight-grade slab. I told the cutomer that this was not correct and showed him the abundant hairlines. [EDIT: The customer <i>did</i> ask for my opinion.] I then showed him some of the (more-expensive!) examples the dealer had that <i>were</i> original, but I still got an uncomfortable glare from the dealer. The conversation ended up with a no sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the proper way to deal with this? Should I stay quiet, or should I try to educate both parties?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
